Hi friends. I just wanted to let you know that if you notice things are a little bit quiet around here this week it's because we're wrapping up details on our first book (hooray!). Next week we will be back to normal speed. We're enjoying every moment of this season and we will share some behind the scenes photos from the book writing process sooner or later. We have a lot to share! Thanks for all your kind words + support.
June is going to be a pretty special month.... we have a re-design coming to this blog. xo. elsie
ps. mint water is my summer favorite.
It's oh so exciting ... :)
Congrats! And I'm wondering how you manage to do everything you do, too.

I love your blog and really enjoy all of your ideas and style! Some day I hope to visit your shop in Missouri. My sister lived in in St.Genevieve for a few years and I loved that little town. I can see you in a place like that.
Excited to see your new format too!

I like everyone else can't wait to see the new blog design. I have just "finished" (although it's never really finished) redesigning mine.
I wonder if it will tempt me to change things again?
Aargh!

I didn't think things had slowed down at all - I don't know how you keep up at this pace and write the book! Looking forward to the redesign! :)

Me too! I love mint water!! It's the little bit of extra oomph I need to drink more water--especially during these hot summer days!
Looking forward to seeing the new blog design :)

I sort of love how 'quiet' is one post a day! Although it does seem quiet, I still love you girls!

I just tweeted "My favourite blog is publishing a book, it'll be awesome", I'm such a fangirl! Please let us know more, or at least when it will be published...will you ship internationally? Please say yes :)
Congratulations on everything you've accomplished, Elsie <3

That's so exciting elsie! I absolutely can't wait to see your book. Not only did your blog inspire me to blog, but it's constantly my inspiration in everyday life. Whenever I feel "blah" I have a million things on A Beautiful Mess to cheer me up and get me going :)
good luck xoxo

I'm quite curious concerning the re-design for I love this current one so much I would never have it changed. Hope the new design will look just as awesome!
Good luck with your book :D

Oh so excited for the book and the new design!
And I have to ask where can I find the cute dress and red sandals in the last photo?
